Since I foolishly missed the new FullMetal movie when it was nearby, I went to a half priced bookstore for some quick anime, and got the original movie. While I was there I also picked up a DVD set of a TV anime on a whim.

Dragonauts - the whatever. The graphics for the dragons and spaceships are little dated, but it is fun. Watched disk #1/4 on Sunday, and Disk #2 on Monday. I'll have to see if I can watch disks #3, #4 Sat, Sun.

Hah, I remember watching Eat-man like that when I found the dvds on a bargain bin =P

Fate Zero restart is SO FREAKING AWESOME I CANNOT EVEN DESCRIBE HOW AWESOME IT AWESOMELY IS.Ahem.

Medaka is okay, i guess. Not so awesome.Accel World has the ridicolous-est main char of all (Okay being fat, but why is he half as high as GIRLS his age? Seriously.)Polar Bear Cafè is riding on the line between "mind-breaking absurd" and "gut-busting laughter-inducing", which is a good thing, i suppose.

I've finally started Guilty Crown - it's a blatant Code Geass ripoff, but it's not as bad as many put it.

I'm currently reading Medaka Box and I have the first ep downloaded... not sure if I'll stick with it. I think they will have to wow me, because while investing idle moments into reading a manga is one thing, sitting down to watch subtitled anime is another thing entirely.

I just watched the first ep of Haiyore! Nyaruko-san. Seriosuly japan? You actually take the lovecraftian mythos, cram it into a shool-life comedy anime and have freaking NYARLATHOTEP the Crawling Chaos have a lead role as a girl??? Complete with roleplaying references of sanity points and such...

Most everyone doesn't consider it anime but Legend of Korra just premiered on Saturday on Nickelodeon. Its the next chapter in the Avatar: The Last Airbender setting. I have to say I'm pretty happy with the first two episodes. I am a huge fan of TLA (lets pretend the film doesn't exist) so seeing the story continue on is great.

First episode had a fantastic (if frustrating) moment.

Saw the first two episodes as well. I cannot help but wonder at one off-hand comment:

"My brother and most of my friends are gone." Moooooooooooost? Any particular exceptions we should be aware of?

When that day comes, seek all the light and wonder of this world, and fight.

Good question. From what I can recall, they didn't want to have too much of the old cast still around but it was nice to see Katara. I'd say if anyone, perhaps Toph is still around as an old maid someplace though with her daughter as the police chief, probably unlikely. Earthbenders seemed to be particularly long lived. King Bumi (Boomy? I unno) was well over 100 when Aang came back. I do hope to see at least brief mention of all the old cast and/or their descendents. Zuko and Mai's progeny, Sokka and Suki if they had kids, etc. I think they want their new cast to stand on their own and not have to stand on the shoulders of the old cast to make the show interesting (so far so good)
